Going back through my records from the past two calendar years (from
March 2009), I see the following purchase orders to MediaBit:
FY10 (March 2009 - Feb 2010):
March 2009 -- 530 EUR F10 media
June 2009 -- 3440 EUR F11 media
September 2009 -- 620 F11 media
December 2009 -- 1565 F12 media
January 2010 -- 1645 EUR F12 media
FY10 total -- 7800 EUR. You didn't ask about FY10, but I found that
information so I figured I'd write it down.
You did ask about FY11...
FY11 (March 2010 - Feb 2011):
May 2010 -- 3080 EUR F13 media
Jan 2011 -- 5000 EUR F14 media
FY11 total -- 8080 EUR
The final budget numbers that you referenced are $3780 USD for F13 and
$7980 USD for F14, for a total of $11,760.
Going to Google *today* and typing in "8080 EUR in USD" gives me
$11,493, which is pretty close. I think Red Hat does enough business in
all parts of the world that it can get pretty good currency conversion
rates, but keep in mind that MediaBit also charges Red Hat for shipping.
So it feels to me like the numbers for EMEA media are about right.
Does this help?
